Week 156 – March 11th – Bushy Park – Part 1
The weather had improved after the snow and we wanted to get out.
After searching around, I said lets go to Bushy Park, never been and it was just over 20 miles away. Didn’t realise it was that close.
It’s the second largest royal park and the car park is free, that makes a change.

What do you reckon?

Week 156 – March 8th – New car mats
Today I drove down the Kia garage to pick up the new car mats.
It had snowed overnight as previous posting showed. Of course I came across one idiot who deliberately drove into the snow to spray it everywhere.
I never understand why cars don’t come with these mats, well I do, more money for the car manufactures.
Though due to the previous issues, these were provided free.

Week 156 – March 8th – More snow
Well it was forecasted, but do you always believe the weather forecasters?
Actually surprised it settled, as it had been raining for about 12 hours before.
Rare sighting of snow. -
Week 156 – March 6th – Scary this close to home
When previous mentions were made about this policeman Wayne Couzens and incidents at McDonalds in Swanley, I thought there is only 1 place it could be, but they never confirmed the location.
Today with his appearance in court regarding these incidents, they finally announced the location, it was the one I thought.
It’s just over 5 miles from where I live.
Why didn’t the police do anything, bad enough after 1 incident, but a second one in less than a week, they then only showed an interest after the murder of the lady in London, who life could have been saved if they acted.
I mean it was all on CCTV and they had the bank details too. So not much detective work required.
Just shows how careful you have to be.
Be safe out there.

So one week later I’m back over 18 stone.
Looks like this will be an ongoing battle to stay below 18 stone.

Week 155 – March 4th – Chelsea v Leeds United
Chelsea 1 – Leeds United 0 – HT 0-0
Fofana (53)
Assists:-
Chilwell (53)
Now playing under a new manager and after a good cup result, hoping for the double over Chelsea this season, we failed to score again.
Welsey Fofana scored his first Premier League goal for Chelsea as the Blues beat Leeds to ease the pressure on manager Graham Potter.
After a run of just two wins in their past 15 games, there was a sense that three points were a must for Potter, despite insisting he retained the support of the club’s owners before the game.
The Blues made a blistering start and could have been 3-0 up inside 30 minutes.
Kai Havertz was one-on-one with Leeds keeper Illan Meslier, while Joao Felix smashed a shot from distance against the crossbar before Ben Chilwell prodded wide from an excellent position.
After that there was a growing sense of deja vu around Stamford Bridge as Chelsea faded while Leeds grew into the game, with Jack Harrison sending a free-kick over the bar before the break.
But Fofana ended Chelsea’s run of 396 minutes without a goal when he rose to head home from a corner early in the second half.
Leeds upped the pressure in the closing stages as the hosts dropped deep to try and hold on for a precious win, making for a nervous finale to the game for the home fans, but they held on to secure their second win this year.
Chelsea remain 10th despite the win while Leeds are 17th and one point above the relegation zone.
So what looked a promising season, after we beat Chelsea earlier in the new season, we have been on a slide down the league, mainly because we can’t score.
As mentioned in the previous Leeds post, why did we not bring in a forward or two?
Only 13 matches left to stay up, but the bottom half of the table is so tight, 6 points separating the bottom 9 clubs.
Good luck to the new manager Javi Gracia, he is going to need it.
League position 17th after 25 games – After 25 games last season, Leeds were 15th.
